  IRC, bulletin boards that had links to each other…. The old net was decentralised by default.

  Nice to see someone else was around when the lore was written :D

  In NZ instead of AOL it was xtra and Paradise.

  It’s a sarcastic take on common advice. It’s implied by the inanity of the suggestion. Most people got it, wasn’t something you saw. You’ll get it next time :).

  North Atlantic accent I think it’s called. Have a read of the wiki. Kinda interesting.

  Depends on how fast I’m talking but, yup. South islanders do it more than north ime.

  You can go back to Counterstrike for that. Was a free mod for half life, then one day you needed Steam to play it. It’s how Steam was released and part of why there was such massive uptake early. Biggest game in the world at the time.

  Those were the days. I never thought installing mp3 player software would give me a rootkit, but it did……

  I’m not the person you replied to but I’ve been a first person shooter fan since Wolfenstein 3D and original doom. I had NEVER heard of it til today. First person and tower defense games are basically all I play.

  Genuinely, never. It wasn’t that popular in my country.

  When’s the last time you heard of anyone buying an individual song / album on iTunes?

  I’m yet to hear a first time, and I remember when mp3s first became a thing.
